PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, JULY 5, 1985
PAGE 9
Last Sabbath, we heard your taped Pentecost sermon. Mr. Arm
strong, please don't be discouraged. Because of that sermon and
the excellent ministry in our area, we are beginning to under
stand more about how we must not be hearers only but also doers of
God's Word and the work!
D.H. (Woodhull, IL)
I really got a lot out of the tape of your Pentecost sermon, as
did many others I talked to. You have so much love and concern
for the brethren. I'm really going to try harder than ever to
learn more of God's Word to be able to teach others some day.
Mrs. H.T. (Springfield, MO)
We heard your tape made on Pentecost last Sabbath. When you said
you sometimes got discouraged with us, I eried!
Please don't
give up on us. We� dumb sheep, thoughtless at times, but, as
for myself, I love and pray for you, and hope with all my heart I
can be with you in the World Tomorrow and the Kingdom.
Mrs. I.R. (Burton, MI)
Just a short note once again to thank you so very much for your
Feast of Unleavened Bread and Pentecost tapes. I truly hope we
will "get it," and really understand that we are called to be
teachers. To teach the way and Word of our Living God. If we all
collectively pray toward that end, I know God will open up our
minds to truly understand what He's trying to get across to us
through you, Mr. Armstrong. Thank you again so much. Please
take good care of yourself. We are praying for you always.

The heads of government of the 10-nation European Community held a summit
conference in Milan, Italy, last weekend. As a result of this conference,
pressure is building to rewrite portions of the 1957 Treaty of Rome in order
to streamline the decision-making processes--specifically to introduce some
form of majority voting in order to overcome the veto logjam, increasingly
a problem due to the size of the EC, soon to be 12 members. The prospect of
important legislation failing even though eleven states approve of it is
troubling to many members, specifically the "original six" continental
powers. The method for introducing change, however, is putting the conti
nentals on one side and the British, Danes and Greeks (who can't agree on
anything, it seems) on the other. Here is a report (titled "Europeans OK
Talks to Revise Treaty") on this development as given by Don Cook in the
June 30 LOS ANGELES TIMES:
Over strong opposition from Britain, Greece and Denmark, heads of
government of the 10-nation European Community voted here Satur
day to convene a special conference in October to draft amend
ments to its founding document, the•••Treaty of Rome, with the
aim of strengthening European unity.
